26 y/o Asian American Male
GMAT: 710 (considering retaking as I am pretty confident I can improve this by at least 20 points)
Undergrad GPA: 3.31
Finance major, minors in accounting and MIS (graduated from a large state school, top 10-ish public university and top 5 undergrad business school)
Post-undergraduate: Did a year of post-baccalaureate work as a music major (orchestral performance, 3.91 GPA that year) the following school year after undergrad. Left and started work following this year.
Work Experience: 3.5 years currently at a global bulge bracket investment bank (think JPM, Deutsche, Credit Suisse, etc). Promoted after a year (operations/middle office to front office/trading).
Extracurriculars:
Undergrad: Performed in the university's symphony orchestra for all 4 years, was active in a business fraternity for all 4 years (planned various professional/community service events, also had a large role in pledging a class)
Post-grad: Volunteer with a couple of local ensembles and orchestras (usher at performances, work food/drink tables at post-concert receptions, stage setup and tear down, etc. Utility work, basically)
Post-MBA goals:
Long-term: run a major symphony orchestra (work in a strategy/operations type role, ambitious goal would be to become CEO of an orchestra)
Short-term: work at a top consulting firm working specifically with their non-profit practices - advising on strategy, improving PR/marketing, etc.
I'd like to know how realistic my profile would be for my top choice programs: Anderson, Haas, Stern, Columbia, Wharton. I'm looking primarily at schools that are in close proximity to vibrant performing arts scenes and big-market orchestras. Potentially thinking of adding Booth and Kellogg to this list for that reason.
Thanks!

Thank for sharing your profile. I really like your profile and the diversity inherent within it. I think you have a nice chance at the schools listed particularly because of some of the things you have done on the extracurricular side and the alignment with your career goals. If you can steal 20 more points on the GMAT this would really solidify your chances.
I would throw Kellogg in the mix because the school really places a high value on candidates who are engaged throughout their careers. Also, the program is probably the #1 consulting school of the top MBAs so really hits on a lot of your development needs.
